LGBT+ Zurich

Over the last decades, the tolerant, liberal-minded city of Zurich has become home to a lively gay and lesbian scene.

Various associations and societies actively promote a dialogue between each other, and fight for the rights of and equality for the LGBT+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) community. Within the realm of late-night bars and clubs ‒ the largest and most vibrant assortment in Switzerland ‒ countless party labels and establishments create a nightlife that is more colorful than a rainbow. Homosexuality is not just addressed out in the open on the street, but also in the form of colorful events, first and foremost the Zurich Pride Festival.
